An Important Message to Consumers:

Why not make a suggestion to the manager of your favorite chain supermarket that they waive slotting fees for small, local producers, to give these businesses a chance to grow, creating jobs and helping the local economy come back stronger?
At the same time, you'll also get more local, healthy choices for your
dining enjoyment, if you do!

About the Directory

There's never been a complete listing of all the various small and medium specialty food producers of New England, until now. We thought it was time for one, since the way the major search engines such as Google function, you would probably never find most of them, and if you like dining on the finest artisan foods, that would be a real shame.

There are more than a thousand small and medium producers listed in the Directory on this page, with more added regularly. If you know of any which should added, just email it to us. There is no charge to be listed in the New England Specialty Foods Diretory. Listings are 100% FREE.


Why is it so Difficult to Find Artisan Food Producers?

It's very simple. Today most people live on a budget, and the least expensive products often need to be purchased simply because they cost less. This makes it very difficult for small specialty foods producers, since small batches made from much smaller quantities of healthy ingredients and custom packaging must always result in higher selling prices. That principle, applied to all costs and expenses, always results in considerably higher retail prices. This results in slower sales, which results in larger stores not wanting to carry them, inadequate sales in smaller stores due to the lack of merchandising and promotions, not to mention the fact that distributors have no interest in unproven products.
